Tile weekly allowance of huller and margarine together is a little less than three ounces to a person. (Ml is so expensive thal it is nut ol* the reach of the great majority. The correspondent paid $*!.12 for abouti two-thirds ol' a pint of ha/.lenut oil lo be used for frying. Goose fat costs t I.SO a can of 17 't/"> ounces, and ls the univ fat. except vegetable oils, that can be bought without a card. This insufficiency of fats in the daily ration shows itself in an almost con tinuous feeling of hunger. The most letter complaints come from the sol diers at home on I'urlouirii. Soldiers Are Well Fed. When the writer hist visited the :o'it. in .Inly, the men's rations were rm pie in every respect, and there is ii o reiyon to believe thc same is not ? rue lo-da>. There is a deadly monotony about meals in the average household. Hreitkfasl generally consists of rolls, marmalade totten made of pump kins), and a decoction of roasted acorns, rye. chicory and what not thal goes by the name of coffee.

I .'? a pound, a turkey al $l.!{2 a l ound, or a hen at $1.08 to $1.20 a pound. Dear Old Reer ls Scarce. Supper is the problem In the aver ige household Generally lhere are no potatoes left over from noon, and there is no fat hi which lo fry them. The usual German supper before tho war consisted of cold meats, sausage. . tu ese, bread and butter and beer There is no meat, no cheese, and no -ansage, no butter on four or live days ol the week, no more bottled ticer, and mans saloon keepers re fuse to sell beer to be consumed off the promises. The beer, moreover, is all but undrinkable. Saccharine for Sugar. There remain-, then, only bread and fish, fresh smoked, dried or can ned. And here tho problem of cost is added to that of monotony. The writer paid in Rerlin $1.20 a pound for ordinary hike trout and Xl cents il pound for small fresh water bass. Dried salted fish cost :n> cents a pound and smoked eel $1.92 to f2.-l0. Smoked goose breast costs ?:t to $3.r>0 a pound, and boiled shrimps are 72 cents. Popper costs $0 a pound and small raisins $1.08.
